Auto Clock Speed (acs)

A utility to check stats about your CPU, and auto regulate clock speeds to help with either performance or battery life.

Goals

• First and foremost, this is a project to learn about Rust and Linux
• Secondly, try to improve upon AdnanHodzic's already amazing auto-cpufreq
  • Add options to display raw output of governors, clockspeed, turbo, battery, etc. for use in scripts or display panels like polybar.

Install Latest Release

If you have cargo on your machine, skip to step 3

1. Install rustup.rs.

2. Setup rust sh rustup override set stable rustup update stable

3. Install from crates cargo install autoclockspeed

Install from github

Do steps 1 and 2 from other install if you don't have rust installed, then do this next step.

1. Clone the project and install

   git clone https://github.com/JakeRoggenbuck/auto-clock-speed cargo install --path auto-clock-speed

Systemd

In order to have auto-clock-speed start when you restart your computer you must follow these instruction ```

IMPORTANT: Modify the service file to include

the path to the binary file

(usually /home/username/.cargo/bin/acs)

```

```

In the auto clock speed directory run this command to

move the service file into your systemd directory

sudo cp acs.service /etc/systemd/system/ ```

```

Start and enable the service

sudo systemctl start acs sudo systemctl enable acs

Check service is up and running

systemctl status acs ```

Usage

Monitor

```sh

Show the min, max, and current cpu frequency

along with the cpu governor

acs monitor

A delay (in milliseconds) can be set for both monitor and run

acs monitor --delay 1000 ```

Run

```sh

Run requires sudo because it edits the cpu's frequency

Edit speeds and shows exactly what monitor does

sudo acs run

Shows no output but still edits speeds

sudo acs run --quiet ```

Get

```sh

Get information about the system

View all of get's subcommands

acs get --help

acs get temp acs get freq acs get speeds ```

Help

``` Automatic CPU frequency scaler and power saver

USAGE: acs

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS: get Get a specific value or status help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) monitor Monitor each cpu, it's min, max, and current speed, along with the governor run Run the daemon, this checks and edit your cpu's speed ```
